Messages with aim problem

Hi !
So i have a problem with messages. I create a aim account and login it in messages. I call to my sister who have a same macbook that i i have she also use a aim. When i call to her she don't have a invite to video conference, audio conference etc. On my mac i only see that waiting for accept. When she call to me i have the same problem,

When i have a problem with icloud and messages i do these steps:
If you're not signed in, sign in. If you are signed in, sign out and sign back in. If there's no change, continue as follows.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try Messages again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
If you still have problems, quit Messages again. Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
Test. If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place, and continue.
Step 3
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
com.apple.iChat
com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.
I think taht i deleted some files in these folders. It is may be the cause ?

AQ message with delay problem!!

Hi,
I am having problem a problem with posting an AQ message to a queue using the AQMessageProperty.setDelay(val)
function. If val is 0, everything is fine, the message gets through. When the delay is > 0, it looks like oracle adds a number to the delay (currently amounting to 15-16 minutes). The amount added seems to increase over time.
I can see this in the AQ queue table: The message is inserted immediately, but the DATE in the columns DELAY, TIME_MANAGER_INFO, and ENQ_TIME all have a value 16 minutes after SYSDATE.
I have double-checked that the parameters passed in are correct.
Has anyone seen this problem, and found a solution to it?
Thanks in advance,
Trond Hvoslef

To follow up, here is some more info about the environment:
- AQ is accessed from Java
- Oracle version is 9.2.0.3
- Restarting the application does not help
- Dropping and recreating the queue tables does not help
- Restarting queue manager does not help
What does help is to restart the Oracle instance.
However I suppose the problem will appear again after running the instance for a few weeks.
As far as I can understand this must be a bug in Oracle.
I am interested to hear from other people using this feature.
Thanks,
Trond Hvoslef

How do I work messages with AIM on my MacBook pro?

How can I request a video chat through messages on MacBook pro? The other person cannot connect to me.

The Mac version is called Real Studio
That is not the same as Visual Basic. It is similar, but not the same. Unless something has changed in the last few years, it will not execute or create Visual Basic code. That may or may not be important to the OP, depending on whether he actually needs VB or just a product that is similar, but is an important point he needs to be aware of.

Messages Doesn't Communicate with AIM Server - Can't add/delete buddies, change privacy settings

This has frustrated me and I think I've diagnosed the problem but I need help!
The problem occurs in Messages for Mountain Lion. I've set up my AIM buddy list and everything seems like it's working. But, when I try to add a buddy, it doesn't matter whether they are online or not, they appear to be offline. Then, when I quit Messages and launch it again, that entry has disappeared from the buddy list altogether. The same thing occurs when I try to delete a buddy or anything else that involves a change at the AIM server.
The problem is the Contacts app. I know that. If I trash my address book, everything works perfectly! If I add cards back one by one, the card that breaks Messages is always a different one. There isn't one "culprit." I also know that it's probably because I have had these contacts for years and I have migrated them from platform to platform. It's not a local problem though: if I trash my address book and then sync with iCloud to get my contacts back, it happens again.
There's something about the way Contacts and Messages handle AIM that doesn't allow changes to propagate to/from the AIM server and I can't discern any pattern that would lead to a solution.
Does anyone have any insight here? Is this just a bug in Messages?

Note: These instructions are for OS X 10.8 or later. In OS X 10.7, the procedure is the same, but the application is named "Address Book" instead of "Contacts."
Step 1
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBookSourceSync
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, go to the next step.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 2
A. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
B. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
C. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
D. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then double-click the file you created in that step and confirm that you want to import from it. Your contacts will reappear.
E. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

Problems with AIM on new iMac G5

Hi--Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm having an extremely frustrating problem with AIM, which I recently downloaded on my son's new iMac G5 (TIger 10.4.3). I've tried posting this question in the iChat forum, but since he doesn't use iChat and never has it open on his computer, I don't think it's an interference problem with iChat.
AIM quits unexpectedly and repeatedly, often several times in just a few minutes. I've tried: throwing out all preferences, trashing and reinstalling AIM, and using AIM from a different user account on the machine. AIM worked FINE on my computer--an older G4 also running OS Tiger, so I can't imagine that this is an operating system conflict.
A friend suggested that it might be a problem with the wireless network. The new G5 is connected wirelessly via Airport to my G4. Has anyone heard of AIM not running well on a wireless machine? Could something (an outside frequency perhaps?) be interfering with the wireless connection, causing AIM to quit?
Needless to say, AOL's tech support is completely unhelpful. Says they don't provide tech support for AIM.
If anyone can help, or knows someplace I can find AIM tech support, I would GREATLY appreciate it! THanks!

The best advice I can offer is to dump the AOL AIM client altogether, and use a third-party instant messaging application that supports AIM.
For example, Adium X is a full featured IM client that supports AIM as well as many other IM protocols.
It's very stable on Tiger, and it's light years ahead of the official AIM client from AOL.
Try it out!

Messages doesn't work with AIM

I've been trying out the beta. Messages isn't working with AIM (will not connect and stubbornly remains Offline). It seems to work fine with text chat with other Messages users and no problems with FaceTime either. But I have some friends on AIM I like to chat with and also a couple of people I sometimes help via screen sharing and it is annoying not to be able to get the AIM part to connect.

Yes, enabling and disabling the AIM account (sometimes it takes doing it a few times) seems to work. And I found elsewhere that opening activity monitor and killing off the imagent process (which then automatically relaunches) seems to work as well. Those workarounds are not permanent solutions for me though. As soon as the iMac is either restarted or shut down and then turned back on... Messages seems to be right back at square one with not being able to connect to AIM unless I use the workaround again. I just hope Apple can figure out what is going on and fix the app before it goes final.

Messages Beta and problems with Bonjour Chat

Let me start with that I totally understand Messages is in beta but I'm hoping someone will have a suggestion.
In our office we use Bonjour chat extensively for inner-office chat and file sharing. Most of our workstations are still on Snow Leopard few on Leopard and one is on Lion running iChat 6 and 2 MacBooks Pros have the Messages Beta on Lion. The ones with Messages are having sporadic issues with receiving new chat messages. When it does not work, the sender gets the error "The instant messaging connection failed. The other person's computer may be unreachable." This is from iChat to Messages, or Messages to Messages. (Please note, things like iMessage and Google Talk are working fine for these Lion/Messages Beta systems, the issue is isolated to Bonjour chat.)
Now if the person with Messages starts the Bonjour chat to person with iChat it will work fine and then a back and forth chat session will work fine. Message to Message is pretty much broke.
Occasionally I get a firewall access dialogue for "imagent" wanting Firewall access and I always click Allow, but seems to do little help. If I disable the OSX Firewall completely (through the GUI) on any system with Messages and the problem will resolve itself.
As another troubleshoot I tried leaving the Firewall on, Messages on but logged off of Bonjour and have Adium on and logged in into Bonjour and everything works great.
So I can narrow down the issue to Messages, with Bonjour chat and the Firewall. It seems to me Message isn't telling Bonjour to open the right ports.
Any suggestions anyone can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

HI,
Can you double the chances of the engineers seeing this by also reporting your findings here
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
Messages is in fact iChat+ and Messages is identified as version 6.1
The drop downs for iChat version and OS version have been out of step most of the time since iChat 4 was the main version. Just type the info on Versions in the free text area.
The fact that this Bonjour file Sharing seems to not be on an expected port is a bit concerning.
The original set of Ports are listed here or rather the set for iChat 3 and upwards
At note 2 at the bottom it lists the "Local" ports
Port 5353 is the everyday Bonjour port used by the Finder to find other Bonjour computers or devices.
This leaves port 5197 and 5298 for Texting and File transfers
If it follows the AIM model, the UDP 5298 would seem to be the most likely port File transfers are supposed to be on.
(It is known that A/V chats use the same port whichever Buddy List starts them - 5678 for invites then 16402 for everything else in iChat 4 and above)
Is IMAgent listed in the Firewall ?
(Messages should also be allowed.)
The other thing about the error message is that the port also seems to want to change as part of the process.

"Lost connection with AIM" error message

Hi all,
I've been a long-time iChat user — I've had very few problems, but now, at home, whenever I've been connected for about 10-15mins, iChat just disconnects with the simple iChat Connect Alert that the app has "Lost connection with AIM. The connection with the host was unexpectedly lost."
My Buddy List collapses to a "disconnected" header and I diappear from my Buddies' buddy lists. If I'm in the middle of a chat (video, audio or text), the chat continues uninterrupted, but I still disappear from people's lists as if I'd disconnected manually. Weird.
The net result is that I have to keep checking to see if I'm connected and then reconnecting all the time. A real pain in the proverbial.
It only happens at the house. My laptop doesn't disconnect if I'm at the office, for instance.
I have cable, coming in to Netgear 814v2 router; out to an 8-port gigabit switch, which then feeds my three main machines. All via ethernet cabling.
All machines have the same problem described above.
I've made the usual Quicktime setting changes.
I've listed the necessary ports in my Mac firewall settings (even though the firewall is turned off).
Each machine has a dedicated IP issued by the router (10.0.0.2 thru 10.0.0.5)
The router firmware is up to date.
What else is there?! I have no problems initiating or joining any sort of chat with my buddies around the world. I have excellent bandwidth. My internet and email are never interrupted 24/7.
Can someone help me? Pretty please?

Hi
Try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190
Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

I have a new iPhone 6 plus and all is OK. But the mail shows more than 400 'unread' messages whereas there are none in the mailbox or trash or anywhere else I have looked. I can send and receive with no problem. I'm sure I have no unread messages.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

On closing Photoshop CC, I am getting an error message on screen that read's "Selective Palette error: no element found at line 1. Are you able to assist with this problem?

Can anyone shed some light on this error message I am getting upon closing Photoshop CC

Same issue here in WI and for me it was at 6:36p CST.
I'm changed my password, removed iCloud from my phone ... tried 3G and WIFI with no luck. I also cannot check it on my Mac or iPad. I was able to get contacts and calenders back on my phone but no mail yet.
Did the whole Apple support thing and apparently I'm part of the 1%
EDIT: Question: are all of you former MobileMe users as well? Just wondering because I know there were going to be some changes as they completely move MobileMe over to iCloud and drop the "extra" services. I just can't remember if it was just a single cut off date or a series of dates. THAT email is stuck in my iCloud folders.

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Problem connecting wirelessly from iMac to NETGEAR router, get invalid password message with WPA and WPA-2 encryption in place but if I remove them, so no security, can connect without a problem. Help!!

Thank you for your suggestion but I have already had a couple of phone sessions with NETGEAR support and they don't see any problems with the router settings etc. They referred me to Apple support, who helped me discover that it is possible to communicate with the router but only if I turn off the encryption/security software, which I don't want to do. The frustrating thing is that I can connect wirelessly from a laptop running Windows 7 and two Anroid smart phones, with WPA-2 in place, without a problem. Do you have any other ideas?

I want to go back to the previous 2014.2 version. .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

I have a Power Mac G4. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I get an error message stating it doesn't recognize the disc and an error

I have a Power Mac G4 with OX 10.4.11. I have previously burned DVDs with no problem. Now I've gotten two different sets of messages. One states that
the disc is not readable and an error code: 0x8002006D. The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025.
What is going on? I need to burn discs immediately for a conference next week.

"The more recent message states the disc is incompatible and an error code: 0x80020025."
The error (0x80020025) refers to an unsupported drive (not disk). I've read about relaunching the Finder to correct the problem. Choose "Force Quit" from the Apple Menu and then choose "Finder." Click "Relaunch" and see if the drive still produces the error. If there's no change, I'd be tempted to replace the drive.
